FERNELEY AND NAYLOR. - _ The hearing of this extraordinary case wits resumed this morning. Mr. Locke, Q.C., with whom was Dr. Swabey, addressed the Court at considerable length on behalf of the respon dent, and contended that the charge of adultery against her had entirely failed, as it rested on testimony that was in credible, and he ridiculed the story told by Mr. Howott, the draper, at Grantham, as originating with gossiping tendency of one of those provincial Paul Pry's who formed ono of the nuisances of nearly every small town. The jury had not returned a verdict when we went to press, CRIMINAL COURT,—(This Day, ;OLD COURT. (Before Baron Channell.) CHARGE OP CHILD MURDER. Selina Kent, 18, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child. There was also a second indictment against the prisoner for concealment of birth. The prisoner resided in the City-road, and from certain circumstances it was suspected that she had been confined. and on searching the water-closet the body of a child was found dead, with part of a st )cking round its neck. The jury acquitted the prisoner of the capital offence, but found her guilty of concealment of the birth. Baron Channell said he entirely concurred in the verdict of,the jury. The learned judge sentenced her to 9 months' imprisonment. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NOTTINGHAM SPRING MEETING,—TUESDAY.

Pat:iek Hay es was indicted for the manslaughter of Cornelius Daly, Both the prisoner arid the deceased were confined in the Milbank Penitentiary, Hayes being under sentence of 10 years' penal servitude, by sentence of court-martial, for striking his superior officer. The deceased was directed to inspect the prisoner's cell, who was reported for uncleanli• nese, and whilst he was so engaged the prisoner struck him, and he eventually died. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The learned judge sentenced him to be kept in confine ment for two years, the second to commence at the expira tion of the first, NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Charles Wiseman surrendered to an indictment charging him with feloniously stealing a quantity of household fur. niture jointly with the wife of James Burr, a constable of the A division, and absconding with her with the intention of cohabiting with her in a state of adultery. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and The Recorder sentenced him to twelve months' im prisonment. A LUCKY ESCAPE. A lad named Orr was found guilty of stealing a pair of trousers. He had formerly been sentenced to four years' residence in a reformatory. The Recorder said it appeared he was intent on doing wrong, and, as he had been previously convicted, he should sentence him to six years' penal servitude. In a minute or two after the learned Judge discovered the former conviction had not been charged, and under the circumstances ho would alter the sentence to two years' imprisonment. The prisoner seemed much pleased with the decision of the learnel Judge, and thanked his lordship as he left the deck. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE FOR ASSAULT—A DANGEROUS FELLOW. —George Humble, a man with only one arm, described as a painter, of 27, Castle street, Holborn, was charged as follows : From the evidence of George Castles, 69 C, it appeared that on the previeus night he was called to the shop of a tradesman in Oxford-street to remove the prisoner, who was making a great disturbance. He requested the pri soner to go away, when he said that if he (Castle) "laid a finger on him he would smash his head." He then took the prisoner into custody, when he became very violent, and it required four constables to take him to the station. While on the way there a person called out "mind the knife," and on looking in the prisoner's hand, an open knife was found, The prisoner threatened to " do" for one of the constables. Edward Rowlett, 145 C, proved going to the assistance of Castle and being thrown down by him, and also kicked in a tender part. In his defence the prisoner said he •had just come from Scotland, and that he had fallen in R ith some friends, who gave him a little drink, which had a great effect on his head, as it had always done since he had lost his arm. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constables said the pri soner was not sober. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for a month. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A WORKMAN.—Peter Robinson, aged 54, of Pleydell•street, Bouverie-street, City, tinplate worker, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing 4lbs. of solder. Mr. William Henry Lloyd, in partnership with Mr. John Lloyd, of St. Anne-street, Limehonse, said the prisoner was employed by the firm. Last night his attention was called to the prisoner, and as he was leaving the works he charged him with having some solder in his possession. The prisoner said, "Do you think so ?" To which he re plied, "Yes, I do. You had better give it to rne." The prisoner immediately put his hand in his pocket and gave him a piece of solder. He asked the prisoner if he had any more, and'he declared he had not. A policeman was sent for, who found another piece of solder upon him. The two pieces weighed 41bs., and the value of the property was 2s. Bd. _ __ _ _ _ _ Frederick Smith, foreman at the works of Messrs. Lloyd and Co., stated that he saw the prisoner put a piece of solder in his pocket between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and gave information to his employers. James Ponsford, police-constable No. 260 K, was called into Messrs. Lloyd's factory last night. A piece of solder which the prisoner gave to Mr. William Curry Lloyd was produced. The prisoner was asked if he had any more, and he made no answer. He then put his hand in the prisoner's right trousers pocket and took from it a piece of solder. The prisoner, on being called upon fur his defence, said —I have nothing to say, sir. Mr. Paget—You are committed for trial. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY BY A. FRENCHMAN. — Charles Surry, aged 27, a French sailor, was brought up on remand beforo Mr, Paget, oharged with committing a daring robbery. Tho irisoner had been lodging in the house of Mr. Henry Lewis, a Jew, who keeps a boarding-house for seamen at Nos. 1 and 2 Betts-street, Ratcliff-highway. On Monday evening the prisoner went out with a shipmate and returned home intoxicated. A few minutes afterwards the prisoner lett the house with a large bundle on his shoulders. He was seen by Mrs, Lewis, the landlady, who called to him. He did not stop, and the landlady followed him to a " French house" kept by a man named Harris, in the same neighbourhood. From some cause not explained she did not enter the house, but gave information to the police. On the same night John Barnett, a police-con stable, No. 158 H. met the prisoner in Neptune street, St. George, with a bag on his shoulder. It contained a bed, Itwo sheets, a pillow, and a blanket, the property he had stolen from his boarding-house. Mrs. Lewis, who attended for the first time this day, identified the whole of the property which was on the pri soner's bc:,.:lstead on Monday evening. The prisoner made a long defence in broken English. He said that he deposited a good deal of money with Lewis which he could not get back, and that Lewis stowed him self away and avoided being seen. On Monday morning at an early hour he heard Lewis creep into his bed room and tell his wife that he should be back iq five minutes, but he saw no more of him until twelve o'clock at night. He then saw him in the station-house, and was charged with stealing the bed and bed clothes. He admitted he took them out of the house. He did so because Lewis kept his money, and wanted him to go to sea without clothes, hammock, bedding, or his plate. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. Mr. Lewis wished to address the magistrate on what the prisoner said, and was stopped by the magistrate, who said, "No," the case is over.

CHURCH RATES COMMUTATION BILL. This bill (Mr. Newdegate's), which stood for second reading to-day, and to which Sir C. Douglas was to move as an amendment that it be read a second time this day six months, has been postponed until the 27th of April. THE MALT DUTIES. Mr. MORRI TT gave notice that, in consequence of the pressure of public business, ho should be unable to bring forward his motion on the malt duties. IRON-PLANED VESSELS.

JERVOISE moved for a return of all objects coming under the denomination of Treasure Trove which have been claimed by the Solicitor of the Treasury on be half of the Crown, between the 13th day of March, 1863, and the Ist day of March, 1861; setting forth the date of such claim, description of treasure, estimated value, and how disposed of (in continuation oi Parliamentary Paper, No. 131, of Session 1863). The motion was agreed to. CHAIN CABLES AND ANCHORS BILL. Mr. LAIRD moved that thE, house should go into com mittee on this bill. Mr. M. GIBSON wished to propose that before going into committee of the whole house on this bill it would be very desirable that it should be referred to a select commit tee. The subject was one of a very special kind, and many technical points had to be considered for the good working of the measure. It was desirable for all parties that the bill should undergo a very strict investigation before a select committee. It was not an unfrequent course for the house to adopt in cases of this kind, and there were two or three points in the bill which it was very necessary a select committee should well weigh. Ho moved as an amendment that the bill be referred to a select committee. Mr. W. CRAWFORD seconded the amendment, which, after a short discussion, was agreed to. POOR RELIEF COMMITTEE. It was agreed that the name of Sir William Miles should be added to the committee. NAVAL BILLS. Several bills connected with naval matters were brought on by Mr. BRAND, and read a first time. The house adjourned at 20 minutes to 1. lIOUSE OP LORDS--Last Evening, The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolga ck at five o'clock. AMERICAN RECRUITING IN IRELAND. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved for copies of any reports that may have been received by her Majesty's Government respecting recruiting in Ireland for the North American army, and asked whether any remcnstrance against such proceedings had been addressed to the Federal Government. The noble marquis said he felt the subject of such importance as to bring it under the notice of Parlia ment, and he did not think a graver offence against enter national law could be committed than the endeavour of a foreign country to enlist soAers for its army in the terri tories of one with which it desired to bo at peace. The offence at one time was considered so great that it was -- _ punishable ^ with death, and he found in 1749 three men were actually executed for the cora minion of the crime, and it was not until 1819 that the act was abolished. It was a notorious fact that recruit- ing had been going on in Ireland for the Federal Govern ment for the last two years, and as far as he knew no steps had been taken to stop the illegal proceeding. He held it to be a disgrace to the country such a state of things should be permitted. (Hear, hear, from the Oppo sition.) There was no doubt the Irish Government knew what was going on, and it was not to be supposed that the Irish Government had not reported the fact to the Go vernment on this aide of the water. The only conclusion that could be drawn from the statistics published by the Emigration Committee was that numbers of the able bodied young men emigrating to America were intended for the Federaljarmy. He would give their lordships one instance, which he tkonght would illustrate the manner in which the system was worked. An Irishman arrived in Galway, and put about that he wished to secure the services of a number of young men for a contractor in America. He (the Marquis of Clanricarde) took such steps with regard to the person that when found, although he had set out under the pretence that he wished to secure the services of 2,000 men, he had barely sufficient to pay his own expenses. He told him his opinion of the matter, and instead of referring him to any subject of her Majesty, the person re ferred him to the American consul at eithe , .. Liverpool or Dublin, who would testify he was a person of solvent cir cumstances, and quite able to carry out all he proposed to do. Why, it was perfectly clear that the object this person had in view was neither more nor less than to secure the services of young men for the American army. The noble lord then referred to the case of the six menwho had been enlisted in Cork Harbour for the Federal frigate Kersage. These men were in the most paltry man ner prosecuted for offences,instead of any steps being taken to remonstrate against such proceedings on the part of the American Government. (Hear, hear.) That he consi dered was the proper course for her Majesty's Government, yet, instead of doing that, they preferred to press heavily upon the six poor men. He considered the neu trality of this country had been most partial, and not at all in consonance with the honour and dignity of the country. The noble marquis concluded his observations by repeating his question. Earl RUSSELL said he did not think it necessary to refer to, or discuss many of the subjects brought, forward by the noble lord. He admitted that such an offence as the noble lord had described was undoubtedly a breach of the Foreign Enlistment Act, and that it was the duty of the Government to take steps to put a stop to such proceedings. Ho thought it probable that many who were induced to go to America with the prospect of getting higher wages after wards entered the Federal army; but, what they might do on arriving in America could not be a violation of the En • listment Act. The Government of Ireland, however, through the police, would not fail to keep watch on any suspicious proceedings. No representations had been made to tho Government of the United States o a the subject. Lord DONOUGIDIORE strongly urged the Govern. ment to some course of action on this matter. Lord GRA.NVILLE cited several cases to prove the difficulty of acting. Notwithstanding all the rumours of enlistments only one case had really been brought under the attention of the authorities, and in that the proof was de fective. If the enlistments were so notorious in Ireland as they were represented it would not be so difficult to obtain any proof of them. In reply to a question by Lord DERBY as to the re ported movements of the Fenian Brotherhood, Lord GRANVILLE stated that its proceedings were watched, but he believed, on investigation, they would prove to be of the most contemptible character. Lord CLANRICARDE said that he would not press his motion. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS--Last Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. POOR-LAW STATUTES. Mr. HIBBERT asked the President of tho Poor.law Board whether, with a view to simplify and render more easy of reference the very numerous statutes relating, to the relief of the poor, any effort was being made by the Poor Law Board to procure the consolidation of such statutes ? Mr. VILLIERS said that the Poor Law Board had no intextion of taking any steps on ;the direction which the hon. member referred. THE BARK SCIENCE. Mr. HASSA.RD asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if it was true that, upon the last day ap pointed for the adjudication at New Orleans upon the case of the bark Science, seized at Matamoros, viz., the 23d of January last, no appearance was made on the part of the captors, nor was any future day appointed for the hearing of the case; and, in the event of these facts being true, if her Majesty's Government would demand the immediate release of said vessel ? Mr. LAYARD said that the Government was not in possession of any information on the subject. MR. WHITWORTH'S GUNS. In reply to Mr. GREGORY, Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that Mr. Whitworth had not supplied guns of an adequate calibre to enable the Govern ment to test them effectually. DESPATCIIES ON DANISH AFFAIRS. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether there was not in the papers on Danish affairs a despatch from himself to Sir A. Paget, of date of the 30th November, 1803, to which an answer was returned by Sir A. Paget from Copenhagen, dated the Ist December, 186 3 , and how hs accounted for so rapid an answer if the transmission of the first despatch was not by telegraph ? Mr. LAYAItD said that as it was impossible to travel from London to Copenhagen in 21 hours, the communica tion referred to must have been made by the medium of the telegraph. THE EASTER RECESS. In reply to Mr. MILLS, Lord PALMERSTON said the adjournment of the house for the Easter recess would be regulated by the state of business. (Laughter.) THE CRAWLEY COURT MARTIAL. Lord lIOTHAM gave notice that on a future he would draw the attention of the house to this subject. RAILWAYS CONSTRUCTION BILL. Sir 3, FE RGUSSON asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he would postpone the second r eading of the Railways Construction Bill and Railways Facilities Bill for one week ? Mr. M. GIBSON answered in the affirmative. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TuEsDAT.. There was but a small attendance at the Subscription Rooms to-day.

Mr. MARSH drew the attention of the house to the fact that the civil and miscellaneous estimates had been for many years increasing, and contended that they ought, with a due regard to economy, to be reduced. Ho ridiculed the idea of paying an increased amount for the support of our convict population, when the circumstances of the country were improved. Labour being more abundant and more adequately remunerated, the temptations to crime were diminished. Mr. PEEL said he was not surprised that Mr. Marsh should desire to see the amount of these estimates reduced, and no doubt, if his views could be carried out, the Civil Service Estimates might be very greatly reduced indeed. But he could not think the house would adopt those views without considerable hesitation and without much discus sion. His answer to the motion was that much of the in crease in the Civil Service Estimates were more apparent than real, and that, so far from its being a matter of regret, it should be viewed with satisfaction, since it arose from the carrying out the principle of bringing as much as possible of the expenditure of the country under the eye of Parlia ment. He then explained in much detail the transfer of charge which had been made from other branches a the revenue accounts to the Civil Service Estimates, and other arrangements in the public accounts, which, while they re- lieved other heads of the expenditure, or enhanced the ap parent produce of the revenue, augmented the Civil Service charges, showing, as he proceeded, the actual sum of each transfer, or that thrown by each new financial arrangement upon the Civil Service, the aggregate amount leaving only £600,000 as the debenture increase of these estimates, part of which arose from exceptional charges. Mr. TORRENS adverted to the heavy judicial charges at the Cape of Good Hope connected with the suppression of the slave trade, After some remarks by Mr. NEWDEGATE and Mr. W. E' ART, Mr. MARSH withdrew his motion, Lord C. PAGET obtained leave to bring in a bill to amead the law relating to naval prize; a bill to provide for agency and distribution of naval prize ; and a bill to repeal certain Naval Prize Acts. The Court of Judiciary (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and agreed to. The Malt for Cattle Bill and the Conveyancers, &o. (Ire land) Bill ware read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at five minutes to 7 o'clock. LONDON GAZETTE,—Last Evening. At the Court at Windsor, the Ist day of March, 1861.

Linlithgow John Templeton and Co., printers, Kilmarnock STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, March I.—The market for ship ping yarns has been very quiet ; very little bnsi ness has been done, and, generally speaking, prices are weaker for all counts, though hardly to an ex tent which will admit of quotation. There have been several offers made at low prices for various counts of yarn, but, so far, spinners have declined to accept them. This branch of the market closes very quiet, and certainly without any improvement, in any sense, as compared with last week. The absence of India telegrams has bad a quieting effect. For home trade yarns there has been but little in quiry, and prices are also slightly in favour of buyers in this class of spinnings. The cloth market is quite as dull as that for yarns, but still prices are tolerably well maintained, except in cases where goods have been pressed on the market, and in such instances sellers have had to accept a shade less in price than they would have taken last week. Buyers evidently lack confidence in present rates, and they have been influenced for some weeks past by the operations of speculators who have been seekiug to influence the market by effecting time b2rgains akin to what on the Stock Exchange would be called " bearing transactions.' While merchants evidently have no great faith in these parties, they are sufficiently influenced by them to act with greater caution than usual, and in some instances even a slight reduction of prices has failed to induce them to operate. The transactions both for home trade and for export have been few, and the quantities purchased have been small. LEEDS, 18t.—There has not been much business done in the cloth-halls to-day. Being the monthly pay-day of many of the merchants to the clothiers, purchases were in consequence a little checked. The market was firm as to prices, and a few parcels of spring goods were made up; but, as the weather still remains winterly, it is apprehended that the spring and summer trade will become more than ordinarily amalgamated. There is a fair trade doing for Canada, our Australian colonies, and China, and even a tolerable amount of goods are shipping to Germany. The manufacturers, upon the whole, are scorcely so brisk as they were a short time ago, yet there is no absolute slackness. There is no change in the priceot wool. SHIPPING—This Day.
